I really appreciate what he is doing for the club but sometimes I feel that he is overdoing it ie paying too much for some players we don't really need, hiring and firing decent managers and assistants with huge pay offs, not patient enough or encouraging the managers to allow some youths get into first team thereby reducing cost. etc. It makes me wonder the kind of man he is, is he a good man at heart? or a ruthless businessman that crushes anything in his path. I see him clap and smile when our team is doing well so that means he must have some humour but I took the pains to read about him in wikipedia and discovered he made his cash in some shady oil deals. My perception of him is changing, he seems predictably unstable and I'm worried that if we don't win the cl very soon he might do something drastic and harsh, with more money being pumped in the tension and pressure is increasing drastically and I fear something is about to snap. He wants us win everything and play in a certain way like Barca, are those dreams really attainable? and if this new innocent manager/project fails, I'm really worried about he will do next, does anyone share my fear? if not plz tell me something to calm my worries.

Roman is not an idiot. Say what you like about the man but he is nobody's fool. If he was he would have gone bankrupt long ago
He does genuinely care about this club and wants to see us going in the right direction. Our ultimate aim is to win the CL-would we have done that under Carlo? We seemed to be going backwards by the end of his tenure

I think Roman has made some mistakes, and I am unhappy about some of them, and also the way the club sometimes conducts its business.
But I think the OP has got a bit carried away here.
Whatever decision RA makes, it has always been to try and make the club more successful on the pitch, and I see no reason or any indication as to why that will change.
I would just like him to a bit more patient and a little less obsessive about winning the CL.

Very constructive Mr Joseph - what do you do for a living? In the demolition industry or something - a job where no brain is required!

alright then, got myself tensed up unnecessarily, I guess roman is ok and kool and wants whats best for the club, I was afraid he might get fed up, sell off and walk away, and maybe buy Arsenal or Man Utd, leaving us with huge wage bills

Roman is the best club owner in world football, who won't want him at their club?

Honest opinion is that I don't like everything that he does, but the good FAR outweighs the bad.
As for what jealous fans other clubs think I could not give a fig. They all pretend that they would have Abramovic at their club whatever, but we all know that they're just being hypocritical and if the boot was on the other foot they would love to have somebody like him. Talk of "Russian Mafia" etc. is all exactly what it sounds like - sour grapes, because they are having to live in a different world to the likes of Man City and ourselves.
